Question:
How to hire a famous band for a party?
I want to hire a famous band like My Chemical Romance for my party. What sites or places do you go to hire them for whatever price? Can you hire famous bands to play in the first place? Thanks.
Answers:
You can get a currently popular band to play your party, if you have the money. Usually, you'll have to contact an agent, provide some details, and make an offer. The band's management will consider it and get back to you through the agent. You may have to pay the agent a few for making the inquiry.
Be prepared for lots of conditions you'll have to meet, hefty riders that require you to bend over backwards, a huge price, a big deposit, and you may never even get to speak with a single person in the band...not even when they play at your party. Off the bus, onto the stage, back onto the bus...and you've only dealt with their road manager. (It does happen that way sometimes.)
Look up booking agencies and start making calls. Try samhillbands.com or eastcoastentertainment.com. Those are good places to start.
